Math time shenanigans

It's a bright and sunny weekday morning. The sort of morning one should be spending sleeping in, or failing that, outside playing with friends.

Sadly for all of you, you're in this classroom studying logarithms. (Well, except for those of you who are cutting class. Good luck when finals roll around!) Right now, you've been split up into groups of three and four and should be quizzing each other on the questions from the end of the chapter in your textbook. If you're anything like ordinary high school students, though, you're probably discussing something completely different.

Maybe he was right. Maybe he wasn't, since in her experience, there was any number of ways of accidentally getting something wrong and not noticing it in a math problem. She shrugged, determined to not let herself get annoyed, and leaned forward to see.

"I'm not going to tell you if this is right, you know," Grenn paused to look up at Tougyu, eyes narrowed, but there was no indication as to whether what he'd done was right or wrong. "If we come from the same timeline, someone knowing things before they should have been invented or solved would change things."

Of course, she had no idea, exactly, when these two particular math problems had been solved; she was rather sure one of them was after the new calendar was instated, but the other was sometime before that. Maybe it didn't matter. She had messed up several times now. But that didn't mean she'd stop trying.

"Maybe you're supposed to mess it up." Tougyu replied without skipping a beat as he set her pencil down on her notepad and sat back in his chair, looking at it with a minute frown. He didn't seem to really be thinking about his conversation with her but from the way his eyes flickered to her and back to the paper, it seemed to be a given that she was at least occupying some part of his mind.
